Quaternary Extinction Event

The Quaternary Extinction (or Holocene Extinction) was the most recent and current extinction event of the six, as well as the 5th worst. This began around 13,000-10,000 years ago, in the Pleistocene-Holocene epoch boundary. At first, the extinction may have been because of glaciation in the Pleistocene, but then it was blamed on humans. Due to humans appearing in the early Quaternary, we have disrupted many habitats. Wooly mammoths and saber tooth tigers have went extinct due to humans, as well as DoDos. Many animals today are endangered, due to human activity. Many people are trying to protect these animals, so they don’t go extinct.
